Love at First Book

G got her very own library card last week. She took the entire thing quite seriously. After the librarian handed her the newly minted card she selected three books and took them back to be checked out. As we are walking out of the library she furrows up her brow and says, "Mom, how much do I have left on this thing." (Apparently we have had too many gift cards.)

M: You can check out as many books as you want with your library card. You just have to return them when you are done.
G: (eyes wide) Wow! How much did this thing cost!?!?
M: It was free.
G: (in a decidedly non-library voice) FREE?!?! I LOVE THE LIBRARY!
